Dropped iPhone - now there are issues with speaker and earpiece

My iPhone 4 loudspeaker (at the bottom) isn't as loud or clear as it used to be after it was dropped into a river today, the earpiece doesn't work at all. The phone itself turns on and touch screen etc all still works though. Any ideas/help please?
The only time sound works is when it is on speakerphone - not on videos though. Even then it's not very loud or clear.

Water+energized electronics = shorted out hardware. It is almost certianly damaged beyond repair if wholly submersed like that. As tonefox says, your only real option is an out of warranty replacement, which Apple offers for a fee.

Is the Time Capsule wi-fi router compatible with the Nest thermostat? I've read where there are issues with the Nest and Airport Extreme (AE)? Is AE used in the Time Capsule?

I've read where there are issues with the Nest and Airport Extreme (AE)? Is AE used in the Time Capsule?
If so, i already have a wi-fi router, so can the Time Capsule simply be used for wireless backup instead of as a router if there is conflict?

A TC is fundamentally a AE with a sata chip included to drive the hard disk. Some slightly different bios to include disk functions, although most of those are also on the AE. So as a router it is 99.999% identical.
And yes, if you have another router you can easily bridge the TC and use wireless for backups and internet connection. Once you no longer route through the TC the issues with most NAT problems including port forwarding should disappear.. mostly this is due to all apple routers using NAT-PMP instead of upnp which is the near universal standard for opening ports.. without upnp apple keep their routers more exclusive.

How do I delete excess email messages from my iPhone. There are 300 messages listed, and every time I delete some, more are added from old messages. How do I limit the number of messages that can appear on my phone? How can I delete messages in bulk,

You can't.
All photos transferred from your computer are stored in the Photo Library. The photos in the album or albums below are not duplicates - they include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. This way you can view the photos in a particular album only by selecting the album, or you can view all photos available in all albums by selecting Photo Library.
Just as with an iTunes playlist. A song cannot be in an iTunes playlist unless the song is in the main iTunes library. Placing a song in a playlist does not duplicate the song. Remove the main iTunes library or the songs from the main iTunes library that are in a playlist and the songs will no longer be in the playlist either. This way you can listen to the songs in the playlist only by selecting the playlist, or all songs in your entire iTunes library by selecting Music under Library in the iTunes source list.
The same with iPhoto on a Mac. A photo cannot be in an in iPhoto Event or Album unless the photo is in the main iPhoto library. Placing a photo in an Event or Album does not duplicate the photo. This way you can view the photos in an iPhoto Event or Album only by selecting the Event or Album, or all photos in all Events or Albums.

I used to have over 2000 songs in my itunes library, now there are only a few and I cannot find the others.

Are there any issues with Maverick and Canon Pro10 printers

Are there any issues with Canon Pro10 printers, Dymo 450 LaserWriter and Epson SX400 with the new Maverick?

Try searching these forums and "Googleing" those devices on the web.....

I dropped my phone, now there are lines with every row of graphics.

As I said, I have dropped my phone... And if you have the phone, you know that the icons are all in lines and such. Well, it's like someone smeared the icons... And it's not in those places only, it's with everything with graphics. If I go to watch something, the whole screen is 'smeared'. I'm not sure that Apple will cover this! Any home solutions? Thanks.

Yes... There are issues with the new iMac, early adopters baby!

Hi, I am a new iMac owner.
Being a network engineer and having worked for the "devil" himself, let me tell you... I would rather be dealing with the tiny glitches with the new iMac than owning a Dell, Toshiba, HP but most importantly running Vista!
This is a new machine with new HW and drivers. I enjoy trying the latest and the greatest. I realize there will be hurdles to overcome with any new product, but come one people! Let's stop whining, and help everyone out here. We are all here to provide constructive feedback to Apple while helping everyone out.
Yes there Display issues.
Yes there are Keyboard issues.
Yes there are WoW issue and UT as well.
Target disk issues.. Yes
Lock ups.. sure!
My suggestion... If you think you are better off with a PC and Vista, well go to it mate!
Sorry for the ramble, but I just got tired of all the whiners thinking that buying an iMac was their solution to never having issues by leaving the PC world, or should I say MSWorld... LOL

I think few, if any people claimed they were going to ditch their new iMac for a PC. I like Macs, but I don't love them like I used to.
Half the reason people buy them, is because they think they can rely on Macs more. They are supposed to be stable, fuss free and easy to use. And they still are for the most part.
But these new iMacs make a complete mockery of that because they don't represent very well what Apple stands for. "If" I bought a PC I would honestly expect some problems here & there. Its just part and parcel of the PC package. And although I don't expect Macs to be 100% perfect 100% of the time, I certainly expect better than this diabolical shambles that is the new iMac.
Just as an example.. My 4 year old G4 powerbook.. Not 100% problem free, granted. But mighty close. However, it has not crashed once the entire time I have had it. My new iMac however, crashed 4 times yesterday alone, and it didn't even get used as much as my old powerbook.
Maybe now you get the picture a little better?
Just my 2 kernel panics worth...

After I updated to Firefox 5.0, I am unable to access my TalkTalk Webmail Inbox. Talktalk say that there are 'issues' with Firefox 5. Any suggestions???

I can login to the Talktalk Tiscali webmail site. However I cannot access the mail folders such as Inbox etc. My contact with Talktalk is not very satisfactory and they state that there is an issue with Firefox 5 and that I should use another Browser. When I try with Google Chrome, I can indeed access the mail folders as before so there is an ISSUE with Firefox 5.

Apparently TalkTalk mail will work with Firefox 4 and Firefox 5 ''if'' you set the browser to ''lie'' to TalkTalk mail by saying that you are still using version 3.6.
You can find the instructions for that in a post on the TalkTalk forums: [http://www.talktalk.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=185113#post2452787 Firefox 4 & TalkTalk webmail - Forums].
Note: when you open about:config the first time, it will display a warning message that you should be careful with the changes you make. That's definitely good to bear in mind.
Does it work?

I received a bulk email from what appeared to be my fiance, but the Outlook preview pane opened it automatically and now there are issues

The origin address was <[email protected]>. Whatever happened, it sent the bulk email to her entire address book, so I may not be the only one with issues. If Firefox crashes again, I will continue to feed the error reporting. Thank you to anyone who can help!

Do you mean the Outlook that is part of Microsoft Office, or the Outlook online email site (mail.live.com)?
If you think this message may have infected your system or installed an add-on in Firefox, then I suggest these clean-up steps:
Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Uninstall a Program. After the list loads, click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This should bring recent items to the top. Take out as much trash as possible here.
You can "mop up" remaining issues with the scanning/cleaning tools suggested in this support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
Finally, in Firefox, open the '''Add-ons page''' using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
(1) In the left column, click Plugins. If you find a plugin that you don't recognize or which doesn't sound essential, try setting it to "Never Activate". (The most essential Plugin is Shockwave Flash. You can use most sites without the others.)
(2) In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible) unrecognized and unwanted extensions.
Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Does that clear it up?

Is there an issue with IOS8 and bluetooth connectivity?

I have downloaded IOS8 on my iPhone 5S & 4S, and now am not able to use the bluetooth phone connection in my auto.
Anyone experiencing this same situation?

Does Apple respond to the Support Forum posts?
Is there a pending solution, and what is the timeline? Should I be raising my issues with Acura or Plantronics? I have read that RESET of the phone is a temporary solution. I am not going to reset my phone on a daily basis. The whole reason for iCloud backups is so I don't have to start over with each new device.
I have a business trip this week, and I use my car bluetooth and bluetooth headset heavily. Today I convinced a Best Buy Geek Squad employee to perform a little experiment with my iPhone 6 and iOS8.0.2. We did not try the Plantronic Voyager Legend, because it is my current headset, and does not work. We tried the Bose Series 2 (clearly price does not help compatibility), which did not work. We also tried a Jawbone Era and a $29 something, all without success.
8.0.2 worked until my phone battery died on Saturday.
Even if there are a variety of industry standards for Bluetooth technology, it is unreasonable that Apple excludes such a large percentage of the users market. I know Apple likes a good secret, but could they share enough information with the accessory market?
Why doesn't Apple aim to provide the world most stable operating system, instead of the most changing? I am all for change and innovation. I will even continue to pre-order the latest and greatest Apple product. But change without function or at a loss of function is ridiculous. I had this same experience with the iOS 7 release. I am sure that most of my issues will be resolved by Thanksgiving. Why not rewrite operating systems on a two year cycle, so you can actually test it first? I would appreciate if Apple stopped testing their products on the customers that are the most supportive.
PS This is not the only issue I have found (horizontal keyboard, apps sticking, etc, etc) This is just the issue that is effecting me most directly today. Apple you reputation is suffering. I think I just heard Steve Jobs turn over.

Any issues with PE7 and Windows 7?

Hi All,
I am considering purchasing a second computer. I have had great success with PE7 and Vista, But I can't get Vista on the new Alienware I want to buy. So, has anyone had any issues with PE7 and Windows 7? I have read many posts where there are issues with PE8 and Windows7.
Thanks, Stan

It's a toshiba laptop.
4 gig DDR3
core duo
320 hard drive - partitioned
I also use a dual screen - 22" lcd monitor
I don't use it a lot, since I have a desktop. I've noticed having a
dedicated video card makes a world of difference in editing. This might be
your problem; a dedicated high end video card is the way to go.
If I do simple compilations I don't have any problems. I usaully am making
a DVD of soccer games. If there is a lot of special effects I'll use my
desktop that has XP.

Are there any issues with updating to IOS 5.0.1

I have a brand new IPad 2 and I see there is an OS update available. I see there are issues with some IPhones, but I'm wondering if there is any reason not to update the OS on my IPad?

I haven't had any issues, although posts in this forum show some have. To upgrade to iOS5 you need to have your iPad connected to your computer. Once iOS5 is installed, further iOS updates can be installed via WiFi connection.
You can download a complete iPad 2 User Guide here: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/ipad_user_guide.pdf

Is there an issue with iCloud syncing on iWork apps?

I thought everything was ok with iCloud syncing but I seem to now have issues.
I created a spreadsheet under Pages on my iPad (3rd Gen) and, after pressing the 'spreadsheet' button to show thumbnails of all docs being worked on, I'm seeing a small arrow pointing upwards on the thumbnail. Before, I used to see a progress bar updating in the thumbnail (which I presume is updating to iCloud).
Now? Nothing. The arrow stays and nothing is updated on my iPhone 4. In fact, a previous version of my spreadsheet is shown on my iPhone with the same upwards pointing arrow but with the whole thumbnail 'greyed out'. I can't even open it on the iPhone to delete it!
Is this a know issue and are there any fixes? I've tried the usual turning iCloud off and on for both devices but this has not had any effect.

This is ridiculous!
I have now established that there are issues with Pages, Numbers and Keynote documents!!! They surely cannot all be corrupted?
I have managed to salvage an important Numbers Document which I have copied in to iTunes (and subsequently on to my external HD).
To try and rectify the situation I have then turned off iCloud on all 3 apps on both my iPhone 4 and iPad and deleted all documents under each app. I have then gone on to iWork under iCloud and deleted all documents off there (some of which I noted were not the up-to-date documents I had been working on in iOS). I had to turn off iCloud regardless to delete a couple of the documents on my iPhone (under all 3 apps) as some documents were greyed out (see original post) and could not be deleted. As soon as iCloud was disabled it enabled me to remove off the local device.
Having switched iCloud back on to my iPhone and iPad (and bearing in mind I had deleted all documents off both iOS devices and in iCloud) the greyed out thumbnails re-appear (and cannot be deleted or altered!!!!)
Anybody? Aaaaarrrrrrgggghhhhhh!!!!!!!!
